137 North 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

137 North 9th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit old law tenement building built in 1910 and currently owned by Sonaal Mukahopadhyay. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and sanitary conditions in recent years, with the most recent complaints in 2025 involving heat/hot water problems and a sewage issue reported in late 2024. While these complaints were marked as resolved, the need for repeated service requests indicates ongoing maintenance challenges.

The building has a documented history of rodent issues, particularly notable in 2014 when multiple inspections confirmed rat activity, though more recent bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025 show no infestations. Examining historical violations, the property had significant issues in the 1990s, particularly affecting Apartment 1L, including problems with ceilings, floors, vermin, and smoke detectors. These violations, recorded between 1990 and 1998, were all eventually closed, with certification of compliance recorded in 2024.

The building's more recent history shows improved bedbug management with no reported infestations in the past five years and a significant reduction in complaints about common issues, though some problems persist. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, showing proactive management in this area. Two emergency complaints in 2024 and 2025 related to heat and sewage issues suggest ongoing attention to infrastructure maintenance is needed, though these were resolved through standard complaint procedures.
